(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)
A man drops a rock into a well, (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? II the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
There is a 250-m-high cliff at Half Dome in Yosemite National Park in California. Suppose a boulder breaks loose from the top of this cliff. (a) How fast will it be going when it strikes the ground? (b) Assuming a reaction time of 0.300 s, how long will a tourist at the bottom have to get out of the way after hearing the sound of the rock breaking loose (neglecting the height of the tourist, which would become negligible anyway if hit)? The speed of sound is 335 m/s on this day.
An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s2 as it goes through. The station is 210 m long. (a) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (b) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, when does the end of the train leave the station? (d) What is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves?
A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of -10 m / s." What is wrong with the student's statement? What has the student actually described? Explain.
(a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35 s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s. (b) How long would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?
Standing at the base of one of the cliffs of Mt. Arapiles in Victoria, Australia, a hiker hears a rock break loose from a height of 105 m. He can't see the rock right away but then does, 1.50 s later. (a) How far above the hiker is the rock when he can see it? (b) How much time does he have to move before the rock hits his head?
An object is thrown upward from a height of 45.0m above ground, with the speed of 12.0 m/s. a) How high the object rise? b) How long will it take the object reach the ground? c) What is the object’s velocity upon hitting the ground? d) Where is the object and what is its velocity 2.5 s after it was thrown?
A person holding a ball is on top of a building. The person jumped at the rate of 1 ft/s while dropping the ball. After 12 seconds, the ball hit the ground. Determine the following: a. The initial velocity of the ball; b. The time to reach the maximum height of the ball with reference to the ball's starting point; Ignore the dimensions of the ball and the height of the person. Use g = -32 ft/s². Give exact answer i.e., do not round off answers.
A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.5 m/s² while moving down on a 9 m long inclined plane. 10) When the ball reaches the bottom of this plane, it continues moving with constant velocity along 12 m long horizontal path. Then, it moves up the second inclined surface for 10s and it stops. a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first inclined plane? b) How long does it take for the ball to reach the bottom of the second inclined plane? c) What is the acceleration in the second inclined plane? d) What is the speed of the ball at the point 8 m away from the bottom of the second inclined plane? Answers: a) v = 3 m/s, b) t = 10 s, c) a = -0.3 m/s² (parallel to that surface and in the downward direction), d) v =2.05 m/s
